    @craigc Nah. That one I actually got her to wait. It took about 20 "get out of it Bell" and and 10 "F... offs"

    A .223 is the most powerful rifle I own, so yup it'll be going out with me during the roar.
    I could borrow more powerful rifles, my brother in law has a very nice Tikka 7/08 that's never left the safe but I trust and enjoy using my .223

    77TMK 223 clearly bounced of the red stag but he was kind enough to let my brother pose next to him for a picture.
